Same here. I notice it's still "1 Million Miler" - i.e. "you're the Kettles of the loyalty program - come back after you've hit 3 or 4 million and we'll talk".

Of course I may actually get a Gold kit first since someone screwed up the posting of the SMD4 PQMs and I am sitting at 73,433 until my 7,500 PQMs post. Too bad Gold kits don't come with drink vouchers like the Platinum and 1K kits do.

Surprised that my Silver kit came in yesterday and my dad's plat kit has yet to come in.

Received credentials today, but they were for somebody else. I wonder where mine went.

As people are going to complain that they haven't received theirs yet soon, thought I'd add the data point that I received my gold packet on 12/24. I requalified around the first of the month.

Not looking forward to getting my updated 2013 elite kit, as I've dropped to gold

The way I figure it, they seem to be sending the kits if you achieve the same level as you currently have, or if you attain a higher level. If you end up dropping like I will, no reason to send a lower status kit until the year ends, allowing you the theoretical opportunity to re-attain your current status. Or, I could just be reading way too much into it

Any idea if status level has anything to do with when they send out the kits? For instance, are they sending out all of the 1K kits before they are sending out Gold kits?

I just got mine. Miss the old leather tags that CO Gold and Platinum used to give out.

I have not received mine yet, but I guess they will wait to see if I hit 1k again this year, which I did on Christmas Eve, instead of sending a Plat and then a 1k.
